"I Want to be Sold; The Sales Experience from the Buyer's Perspective" is a book for sales professionals, entrepreneurs, and anyone who wants to get something from someone. It is a new and current perspective on the art of selling.

What inspires you and how do you envision the design for your business?

We are looking to have a book cover design created for a paperback book. We want the title "I Want to be Sold" to be easy to read from a distance. The subtitle should be smaller "The Sales Experience from the Buyer's Perspective.

We attached the original idea/design concept. The wording on the back cover will be altered (we will provide update wording soon). See similar designs attached as well.

We want to keep the design in this realm, but want your ideas on how to make it better. Think "Classic."

We will be releasing this as a paperback and ebook.

FYI: We chose the title "I Want to be Sold" for two reasons. First, we want to convey that this book is written from the other perspective. Again, it is not your typical sales book. It does not contain the top five objections and how to overcome them, or tips to analyze your sales figures. Second, we want to eliminate the negative connotation of "being sold." "Being sold" is a mental state where you are 100% convinced that this product, idea, business, method, philosophy is right for you, and will help you move forward in life, work, or sales.
